Iron man moment

While looking for something entirely different, I came across a copy of Iron Man #168 (1983); this was during the alcoholism storyline, obviously:



A great example of why one shouldn't drink and ty to operate heavy machinery (or wear a mask that can't be removed quickly).

I read the whole storyline when it came out, and this page has some of the images that stuck with me the most. Back then it was very unusual to have even a regular character have problems of this sort, much less the star of one of a company's major titles, and I remember wondering what would happen next, just how low were they willing to bring Tony (turns out, much lower). At the time it was startling stuff.
